Off-Road Jeep Tours

As a country located between 3 continents, Israel is unique in that you can actually walk from one climatic zone to another, with an extremely rich variety of flora and fauna from both northern and southern hemispheres. Being located along the route for migrating birds from Europe to Africa, it has become a favourite locale for ‘Birdwatchers’. In the winter months you can ski down Mount Hermon, and within an hours drive, arrive for a swim in the Sea of Galilee.

Travel through nature reserves from the lush green north to the parched red and brown hued desert. There is never enough time to do it all and an optional jeep tour allows you a brief and more intimate encounter with nature and often an unforgettable adventure.
